Ted - While we're talking about distribution and factories I have a question about your quote above, specifically the "Factory #649 (Rochester, NY)."
The T206 cards issued out of that factory all have the following line:
FACTORY 649. 1st DIST. N.Y.
Each state had tax districts for collecting the federal taxes on tobacco. According to IRS information in New York state the 1st District was Brooklyn and Rochester was the 28th District.
So if Factory #649 was in Rochester wouldn't the cards have 28th DIST. in the factory line?
